At a campaign rally in Abonnema on
Monday, a former minister under the regime of Muhammadu Buhari, hailed
the governorship candidate of the PDP in Rivers state, Dr. Dakuku
Peterside, saying that he had predicted almost three years ago that
Peterside was going to be governor of Rivers state. He said that the
reason he made that prediction in Port Harcourt at a public function was
because he saw Peterside as someone who had “competence, character,
track record, preparation and reputation.”
David-West who is a key Buhari supporter
said: “Today is a special day for me. I came here to celebrate with you
the prophecy I made three years ago. All of you remember that I made
the prediction that Peterside will be governor of Rivers State three
years ago. At that time, some Kalabari people misunderstood me. But we
should thank God for giving us a man of excellent character.
“I don’t support bad people. Peterside, I
can assure you, is a good man and I have confidence in him. He has a
PhD with thesis. I did not have any problem locating his thesis. He is
humble, competent, acceptable and God-fearing. We also know that
Peterside has vision, his programme is laudable. So vote massively for
Peterside, he will consolidate on our gains.
“Buhari appointed me a minister in 1984
without meeting me in person. He will bring light to our nation. He has
what it takes to stamp out corruption from Nigeria. He also understands
what it means for a country to be led by incompetent people. That is why
the fear of Buhari today is the beginning of wisdom.
“You know I am very close to Buhari, he
is a good man, just like Peterside. So we must support good people
because God loves good people. PDP will be out so that they will look
for shoes to go home. Dakuku is not a governor-in-waiting; he is already
governor of Rivers State. Buhari also is not president-in-waiting, he
is already a president.”
